Early Years

From my early days as a high school teacher in the UK, something extraordinary started to happen. People, both students and staff, began seeking me out for a listening ear, drawn to someone whose warmth and empathy allowed them to feel heard. It wasn't long after, I found myself spending more time helping others than teaching.

​

As I listened, I encountered complex issues, as well as other challenges, that I felt unequipped to address. This motivated me to grow my knowledge to provide greater support and advice. That's when I made a life-altering decision to embark on a journey of re-training, driven by a burning desire to make a real, positive difference in people's lives.

 

Qualifications

This journey led me to acquire my qualifications: 

• Diploma in Humanistic Counselling & Supervision

• Post-Graduate Diploma in Counselling Psychology

• Master's Degree in Counselling.

​

Experience

Having established a private practice In the UK, including working with local GPs providing counselling for their patients, my family de-camped and moved to Australia. Here, I continued in private practice, including college lecturing in counselling, which I continue today.  

 

While working with many individuals, my specialisation has been in relationship and couples counselling. Where appropriate, I have a strong interest in the pursuit of intimacy, spirituality and sexuality, facets of life that aren’t always mentioned in the same sentence but are, in fact, deeply interconnected.

​

My supportive approach is one that combines my therapeutic expertise with the love of teaching.

​

Professional Support Available 

Today, I deliver face-to-face and online counselling sessions, for both individuals and couples; I provide supervision to other counselling professionals, and also facilitate workshops and seminars that provide a dynamic, experiential learning environment. In these sessions, participants are encouraged to embark on their learning journey at their own pace – with no pressure to share their personal experiences, unless they choose to; from experience, however, many have found it empowering to do so.
